The Mapmaker's Wife
by Robert Whitaker

A True Tale of Love, Murder, and Survival in the Amazon

Early 18th century: A decade-long expedition to South America is launched by a team of French scientists racing to prove the circumference of the earth and to reveal the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery and knowledge. From this extraordinary journey arose an unlikely love between one scientist and a beautiful Peruvian princess. Victims of a tangled web of international politics, Jean Godin and Isabel Grameson's destiny would ultimately unfold in the Amzon's unforgiving jungles. And after a calamitous twenty-year separation, it would be Isabel's quest to reunite with Jean that would capture the imagination of all of Enlightenment Era Europe. A remarkable testament to human endurance, female resourcefulness and enduring love, Isabel Gremeson's story of survival remains unprecedented in the annals of Amazon exploration.
